The 10 most beautiful hikes in Mallorca: easy hikes

Let's start with the easy hiking routes, which are also suitable for hikers with a normal level of fitness, for hikes with children and for visitors to the island who want to start hiking. But the following also applies to the easy hikes: remember to take enough snacks and water (at least 1.5-2 litres!), suitable footwear (at least sports shoes with a non-slip sole or hiking boots that protect your ankles from twisting) and headgear as well as sun protection (even in winter!) so that you can fully enjoy the most beautiful hikes on Mallorca.

The 10 most beautiful hikes in Mallorca: moderately difficult hikes

If you exercise regularly or go hiking regularly, you will have no problems completing the medium-difficulty hikes if you are in good physical condition. Some of the ascents are quite steep, but a large proportion of the hikes on the island are of medium difficulty and therefore offer you an incredible variety of breathtaking viewpoints over the Mediterranean nature of the island. This is one of the reasons why many of the most beautiful hikes on Mallorca are medium-difficulty hikes, for which you should plan at least 2.5 litres of water and a good meal (sandwiches are very practical).

1. Ascent to Puig d'Alaró with the medieval castle ruins of Castell d'Alaró
2. Circular hike around the Puig de Tossals Verds at the Cúber reservoir
3. Coastal hike from Deià to Lluc Alcari and back
4. Pilgrimage hike from the Cúber reservoir to Lluc monastery

The 10 most beautiful hikes on Mallorca: challenging hikes

Many hikers underestimate the Balearic island, but the Serra de Tramuntana is home to some alpine terrain, steep rocky mountains and deep gorges / torrents, which are often only accessible in certain seasons. If you do a lot of sport or a lot of challenging hikes and are in very good physical condition, you can visit the most spectacular places on the island on the challenging hikes, which are among the most beautiful hikes on Mallorca. Many of these hiking tours also include climbing passages where you have to scramble up rock faces and over boulders, so surefootedness and a head for heights are very important. It is best to hike in pairs so that you can help each other in difficult places if necessary.

Some of the most challenging hikes lead through remote areas that are difficult to reach and have no mobile phone reception. We therefore recommend that you either do the very demanding hikes accompanied by an experienced hiking guide or do them as your own tour with very good preparation and inform an outsider about your route before the hike so that someone knows where you are in an emergency. Plan at least 3-4 litres of water and an energy-rich daily ration of food and enjoy some of the most breathtaking, beautiful hikes on Mallorca.
